Velocity Minerals Ltd. (TSX.V: VLC) (“
Velocity” or
the “
Company”) provides an update on positive
drill results from its flagship Rozino gold project located in
southeastern Bulgaria (“
Rozino”, or
the “
Project”). Results from 30 new drill
holes include 17 drill holes containing significant gold
intersects. Exploration drilling of areas adjacent to the
Prefeasibility Study Rozino design pit (news release NR-20-18,
August 31, 2020), plus initial exploration drilling of selected
gold-in-soil anomalies located proximal to Rozino have recently
been completed.

Table 1: Highlighted significant
intercepts at the Rozino project.
The drill intersections disclosed in Table 1
have not yet been included in a resource model and true thickness
of mineralization has not yet been determined. Drill holes are
designed to intersect mineralization perpendicular or close to
perpendicular. Drill intersections in Table 1 are calculated using
a top-cut of 40 g/t gold, a 0.2 g/t gold trigger, a minimum 0.5 g/t
gold composite, and a maximum of 3 metres consecutive waste. A
single 1m sample from RDD-258 reported 49.2 ppm gold and one
significant interval was consequently top cut to 40g/t, returning
5m @ 8.27 g/t gold. Complete lists of consecutive drill intercepts
are listed on the Company’s web site.

Quality Assurance / Quality
Control
The work program is designed and supervised by
Stuart A. Mills, BSc, MSc, CGeol, the Company's Vice-President
Exploration, who is responsible for all aspects of the work,
including the quality control/quality assurance program. On-site
personnel at the Project rigorously collect and track samples which
are then security sealed and shipped to ALS Global laboratory in
Romania. Samples used for the results described herein are prepared
and analyzed by fire assay using a 30-gram charge in compliance
with industry standards at ALS’ Romanian laboratory. A sample split
of the milled material from the Rozino basement-hosted drill
program is shipped to ALS’ Irish laboratory for multi-element
analysis using an inductively coupled mass spectrometer. Field
duplicate samples, blanks and independent controlled reference
material (standards) are added to each batch of samples. All drill
intersections in this news release are calculated using a 0.2 g/t
gold trigger, a minimum 0.5 g/t gold composite, and a maximum of 3
metres consecutive waste.
